This picture was taken during my parents' courting phase.  Left to right:  The first couple are my parents, Ed Hunter  and Janie Petty;  the second lady I do not know, I think her name might be Jonnie Rollins; the next lady is  my mother's older sister, Opal Petty; and the next couple  is Lois Carter and her date.  I don't think her date in this picture was  her future husband , Toy Moon, they probably had not met yet.   Lois like Opal and Janie (and maybe Jonny Rollins) were from the hills of north Georgia who had come to Marietta to work.

They were young and then they married, multiplied,  grew old,  and died, like we all will.
